I'm still having credit card problems, but that wasn't something I knew at the time when I thought a day of organising the next chunk of the trip would be a good idea. On the positive side I've got a plan, it's just that I can't actually book any of the fun things I want to do. Another good thing was that I managed to see some of Brisbane other ...

Hi... how's it going??! I think I shot myself in the foot with the last post.. since then the weather has been rubbish!! Which to be honest has been a nice break from the heat but I need to get myself a tan before I hit the beach on Christmas Day... thankfully I managed to get myself some fake tan at the weekend. Saying that, I'm too scared to u...

Well we had a really good day to visit the Australia Zoo but everything else has been quite miserable. This is the longest stretch of bad weather we have had on our trip so far. We went into Brisbane from our campsite (which is about 4 km from the city centre) - which is pretty good. The weather was only slightly better than yesterday and we tho...

G'Day!! After an 8 hour flight from Kuala Lumpur, we arrived into Brisbane, Australia around 8pm on Friday (2/16). Hearing how strict Aussie customs/immigration are, we weren't sure what to expect. The immigration official was quite funny. He asked where we were staying, then when we answered with our friend Kelly, he wanted to know how we met K...

So it turns out some of you DO read this after all! I get emails moaning about the length of my entries whenever I post and then when I go quiet for a while I get emails nagging me about taking so long to update! Ahhh I never knew you cared! Anyway I'll try really hard to get up to date again. The thought of you all sitting there in silence twid...

Sad to finally leave fiji, but the weather had turned cloudy and we had already extended our stay. We flew via Auckland to Brisbane ( no where to have a fag at auckland airport but I gritted my teeth and was cool ( have arranged to have my final stop smoking session at the Alan Carr clinic in either sudney or melbourne) DAy 1 Brisbane was pourin...

moved to Brisbane, this morning, had a pretty big night in Byron last night, so have been sleeping most of day, there was a big thunder storm and ridiculous amounts of rain yeasterday, so couldnt beach either.

****! ****! ****! We woke up this moring at about 6am and got ready for a good honest day's work. we went down to the car and discovered that some ****er had broken into it and stolen all our stuff. they took big dave's fancy camera and zoom lense, my digital camera, our playstation and my flight tickets. And then we got the really good news tha...

Beautiful Queensland is just like I remembered. Sunny, hot, easygoing atitude and green. Me and Juliette mostly relaxed for a couple of days, trying to climatize before continue our travels. The city center was beaming with excitement during the summer. We took the advantage to do some shopping and had some delicious food. After the stress at Ch...

We set our alarm at 4 am Christchurch time, not willing to risk our flight to Brisbane scheduled to depart at 7am. The city was in total darkness as the airport shuttle picked us up at our hostel's front gate. It was quiet all around us, even the usual excited chirping birds were asleep. The shuttle cuts through small lanes, wide boulevards, pic...
